Treatment for Colic.
Accoiding to a writer in the Mothers' Magazine, among the peasant mothers- of Russia the following is a common treatment for colic in the child : — When the pain begins the child is laid on its back and the stomach covered with a thin coating of any househoid oil accessible. The mother then takes the palm of her hand and softly rubs this oil into the skin. -She gives the palm a circular twist in doing; the work, and does not cease until all the skin of the stomach and bowels is warm. When this condition is reached she, binds 1 a warm flannel cloth about the stomach, restores the child's night clothes, and tucks it into bed. It is said to be usually asleep long before the oloth is bound- about it.
